So, a few pages on the new domain had .htm extension (not .HTML but .HTM). How can I recreate those pages with such extension?

or should I just 301 redirect them to the homepage?

These are 3-4 pages in total but they have a lot of backlinks. However, I can't create the content these pages had previously. Let me know which is better.
 
When i needed to change my domain to HTM only, I just went into wordpress settings somewhere and changed it manually to be .HTM from now on, and its working fine. Its easy to find somewhere in either permalinks or general.

If I change the extension in the permalinks settings, then all the urls will have the same extension. I just want those 3-4 pages changed.

Create those posts as all the others with .html - go to your File Manager or FTP and locate those post files and change their names from .html to .htm
 
I always use "permalink manager pro" plugin,
You can redirect for sure, but that will just dilute some of the link juice,

Here's the nulled version:

Man, I am always scared of using nulled plugins.

Will try that if it works.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work as pages and post files aren't available in the directory. They are inside the database.
That sounds far to easy! LOL Would love to know if that works though @Black Belt Spodermen
I want to know if I create similar pages without the .htm extension and redirect the .htm to new pages, will it be better than redirecting to the homepage directly?

Let me know guys if you know if this sounds better.

@AlbinKurti and @Panther28 I have one more question.

Majority of the website backlinks are to the www domain but right now I have non-www domain. Should I redirect the users to the www version or leave it as it is? I don't want to miss the link juice.

I never had this issue, I just always redirect to www regardless. So maybe someone has better evidence than me, but I just like dubs for old school! lol

I know that if I redirect the www to non-www, the link juice passes automatically but right now I am so insecure lol.
There is a free plug in like "custom link", it pops up in each post there you can change the link
That did the job perfectly. Thank you.
